We all, each & every last one of us, “dance” w/ death from the very second we are born. In order to get the most out of your life, live it in the full knowledge that death is always your dance partner and that death will the be one to take the “final step”. We should endeavor to do as much as we possibly can to ensure that it is us that “calls the other steps”.

By the way, little side note. I say “real world source unknown” becuse I don’t know who the real life person who came up with this is. There is some background. The quote was said by a character in a game. He basically sacrificed his own life and is dying, but he did so to recieve great power that he intends to use to defeat the enemy that invaided his homeland and killed his people.

The two very keg words: passing & through (although PASSING would be a better choice than “going”). AND, I’m pretty sure Churchill didn’t mean “going through” as meaning ENDURING….w/ the “encouragement” of keeping on doing it//going “through” it.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”

This is an important psychological (and even leadership) concept. Holding grudges punishes no one but the person holding the grudge; growth is difficult to impossible in that state. As one of my favorite saying goes: “Forgiveness is to set a prisoner free, and realize the prisoner was you.” Really just another way of saying the above.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”

A very good response TN.
I think this quote has been “ignored” because the concept ya describe is a difficult one to wrap ones mind around. THAT and the fact that I would see the quote more along the lines of: _You likely (may be?) will be punished FOR your anger, BUT…you will be punished even greater BY your anger.

With this concept, I’m able to agree w/ YOUR application of the quote. I want to add that by having anger AT someone, they are tacitly winning w/o even doing any more than the initial “pisser”. You are giving “power” to that individual to “control” your emotions….thereby possibly have great control over you.

This is why I find it ridiculously ludicrous when jake-o pulls his crap on me by deigning to insist that I fear him…lol
This is why he won’t ameliorate his negative term fear//afraid to something more accurately describing the posters true feelings. He uses every trick in the book to avoid having to defend his poor position w/ realistic points….so he falls back on childish retorts to divert the constant insistence that he address direct questions//challenges to him.

For the most part, his ploy doesn’t work. Occasionally, a poster gets their belly-full of this and “pops off” and has their post removed. Yet, he is unable to see that he is often victim of his own devices….his angry posts are often deleted. Many of the posters here are very good at “pushing his buttons”. For the most part, it really isn’t all that hard…his positions are usually ludicrously weak and not difficult to “insult” while not insulting him personally,,,something he isn’t able to do…likely because anger//frustration is a driving force behind the issues being discussed here.

It is hard to tell what his positions truly are….he so rarely “explains” them well. It seems he uses the ploy of: I’ve pissed you off &/or greatly frustrated you….so I win.

My point is: ANGER can be induced by one’s own internal sense of righteousness. And it can be the “external” result of someone whose intent is to do that by using the person’s passion for that righteousness against them. Short term anger can be useful. It shows that ya care. Long term means that ya’re not able to take command of it,,,harness it to obtain the best desired result.

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”

Hehe, I think this one pulled me out of the woodwork to reply. Recognizing that one is subject to one’s own emotions is an important realization. Self control not merely on the basis of following a doctrine, but as a means to secure your own happiness unto yourself, is an ideological expression given very little credence in my appraisal of modern culture.

It also creates a different structure of power in regards to Virtue and Vices. One is not held to the judgement of a third party for these traits, but one is merely the subject of these traits themselves.
